Saving data from Flash to a text file

[kingmoose1]

Hi Jorge

Thanks for the tutorials on reading and writing external information to and from Flash.

I had the save code from your tutorial working, but as of yesterday afternoon, I can't get Flash to write a text file.  I even tried using exactly what you supply in the example files, but I cannot get a txt file written.

I was wondering if yesterday's update of Flash Player prevents this kind of operation? 

Has anyone else had any problem with saving txt files?

Thanks for your time and help.

First of all, welcome to the boards.

The writing process is allways done by an external script.
Which error messages do you receive?
What is running on your machine?
Do you have XAMMP installed?
Does the apache process work?
Is it your local machine?
How do you access the swf-file?

You see - apache must be running, and php must be there ready to work.
The communication between the swf and your php script only works ok, when you access the swf-file via localhost (the apache server).
